Mandatory Reporting Of Wife Assault By Health Care Professionals, Diana Ginn Apr 1994

Mandatory Reporting Of Wife Assault By Health Care Professionals, Diana Ginn

Dalhousie Law Journal

This article examines the issue of mandatory reporting of wife assault' by health care professionals. Should a health care professional who believes that a patient is being abused by her partner have a legal duty to report that belief, and the information on which it is based, to a designated government ministry or department?2 Such reporting is already required for cases of suspected child abuse and, in one province, for suspected abuse of adults who are mentally or physically unable to protect themselves from the abuse.

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The expression "free and democratic society" is the focus of our research, which sheds light on the contribution of the Supreme Court to the constitutionalization of this concept. Leaving aside the institutional and psycho-social factors, the study confirms the hypothesis that the interpretation of this expression will vary (1) according to the conceptions formerly held by the individual judges and (2) with respect to the factors favoured by a rhetorical Perelman-like analysis, which considers the factual and judicial context and the expectations of both the universal and specific audiences. At the Supreme Court level, the expectations of the latter should …

A Precarious Path: The Bill Of Rights After 200 Years, Tony A. Freyer Apr 1994

A Precarious Path: The Bill Of Rights After 200 Years, Tony A. Freyer

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Bill of Rights occupies an ambiguous place in American society. Americans favor the Bill of Rights in principle, but when asked whether they support particular rights guarantees for real-life practices such as gun ownership, capital punishment, abortion, and flag burning, Americans fervently and profoundly disagree. The essays David J. Bodenhamer and James W. Ely, Jr. have compiled in The Bill of Rights in Modern America After 200 Years, richly suggest why Americans have reconciled principle and practice with such difficulty. Written for a popular audience by specialists who possess a profound knowledge of and differing views concerning the technical …


Daubert: Interpreting The Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul C. Giannelli Apr 1994

Daubert: Interpreting The Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul C. Giannelli

Cardozo Law Review

In 1992 Judge Becker and Professor Orenstein referred to the Frye issue - the admissibility of novel scientific evidence-as the "most controversial and important unresolved question" in the Federal Rules of Evidence. Indeed, during the prior decade the federal courts had battled over the issue, as had their state counterparts. Similarly, text writers and law review commentators vigorously disagreed about the proper standard for admitting scientific evidence. While one ABA report on the Federal Rules explored the Frye issue and concluded that it "is not clear that any standard would produce agreement at the moment," another report cited it as …

On The Threshold Of Ethics, Adam Thurschwell Mar 1994

On The Threshold Of Ethics, Adam Thurschwell

Cardozo Law Review

Can the judiciary exercise its authority to interpret the law without committing itself to particular, substantive views of the Good? If not, can law maintain its legitimacy in a democratic society when this legitimacy rests on the state's democratic claim to neutrality vis-i-vis the competing moral visions of its citizens? The fear addressed by these questions-the familiar "counter-majoritarian difficulty"-is that unelected judges will irresponsibly impose their individual moral preferences on an unwilling citizenry. The traditional answer is that interpretation requires no recourse to moral or ethical judgment, because case outcomes may be rationally determined from precedent and other authoritative legal …


"Reading At The Limit", Elizabeth Weed Mar 1994

"Reading At The Limit", Elizabeth Weed

Cardozo Law Review

In the future, when we reflect upon the phenomenon of "postmodernity," we may be most surprised by its permissiveness. Accustomed as we are to the blurring of genres and disciplinary boundaries, we can forget that the disciplinary gates have been open only a few decades and that they may well close again. Of course, philosophers have always moved freely within the discipline of the law; historians and sociologists have had their place; and now, literary critics and feminist theorists move there as well, through Critical Legal Studies (PoL pp. 100-05), feminist studies (PoL pp. 100-03), critical race theory, …


Beyond Reasonable Accommodation: The Availability And Structure Of A Cause Of Action For Workplace Harassment Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Frank S. Ravitch Mar 1994

Beyond Reasonable Accommodation: The Availability And Structure Of A Cause Of Action For Workplace Harassment Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Frank S. Ravitch

Cardozo Law Review

Employment discrimination law has undergone a metamorphosis in the last few years. New legislation and judicial interpretation of existing legislation have broadened the rights available to the victims of discrimination, and have created new duties with which employers must comply. The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act added one of the largest pieces to the new employment discrimination puzzle. Because the ADA is still in the early stages of development, it is essential to define the bases for potential causes of action under the Act, and to delineate workable structures for analyzing those causes of action.


Language And Materialism, Christina Crosby Mar 1994

Language And Materialism, Christina Crosby

Cardozo Law Review

A report issued by the United Nations recently predicted that "[i]t will take nearly 1,000 years for women to gain the same economic and political clout as men if current trends continue." Indeed, when one reflects on the wrongs done worldwide to women-the silent violence of exploitation and indifference, the pervasive violence of disgust and contempt, the brutal violence of murder and mutilationone wonders, first, whether even a millennium will bring "equal representation in 'the higher echelons of political and economic power,' and second, whether anything would really be changed if women one day come to exercise the same "clout" …

The Discrimination Shibboleth, Andrew Kull Feb 1994

The Discrimination Shibboleth, Andrew Kull

San Diego Law Review

This Article explores a more conservative viewpoint than Richard Epstein's view that all employment antidiscrimination laws should be repealed in his book Forbidden Grounds: The Case Against Employment Discrimination. This Article focuses on the distinctions between current antidiscrimination laws and those of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race and sex, current laws prohibit discrimination on many other grounds. The author argues that these new laws constitute new policy choices, and they impose more costs than the traditional laws.
